I'm trying to move to Win10 on a different virtual machine. I copied over all the modules. But I don't want to have to got through scores of tabs and try to get the ones I don't want hidden. Is there a way to move that info over from one machine to another?
 
Two other questions someone might know the answer to: (1) seems I recall a big list of menu keys in the SS help somewhere. I can't find it. Where might it be? I'm hoping things like selecting a given commentary tab and the edit button, etc. all have shortcuts. I'm trying to automate some stuff I do and that would help a lot.

(2) Does someone using Win10 know of an easy way to change the Window Title Bars' color? They are blandly pale in Win10. I found this: http://www.howtogeek.com/222831/how-to-get-colored-window-title-bars-on-windows-10-instead-of-white/, but it looks to be a lot of tweaking down in the system. Seems that just changing a theme or something should help.

Also, can I move over the margin links?

Yes, just use the Save/Load setting option on the File menu.

It's under Help, Open Help, and then the Appendix: Keyboard Shortcuts topic.

Proper support for this was added in the just-recently released November update. Assuming you have build 10586 it's a simple toggle. (Accent color - show color on Start, Taskbar, Action Center, and Title Bar.)

With Windows 10 you don't need to hunt around in menus to find these things. Just press the Windows key (or start button) and type "color settings."
 
Ah, I knew it was there. Just a mental block. For some reason I didn't think of it then. Thanks for being patient :)
 
Phew! Thanks for that about how to change the colors. I'm glad they added that. I thought it looked terrible to be so pale. I like it a lot better now.
